Smiles All Round!

This week, Mr Carnevale and Mr Singer took to the stage in the Sports Hall to formally congratulate the 74 pupils who achieved their KS3 award during the last academic year. The pupils collected their certificates at either bronze, silver, gold or platinum level, and it goes without saying that we are all very proud of their many and varied achievements. Thanks also to all teachers and parents for their supporting efforts - and a special mention to family members and friends who came to the ceremony, it was lovely to welcome you into the School.

We were able to welcome another set of parents and pupils both current and new into the LRC for our Sixth Form open evening earlier in the week. Mrs van der Linde and Mr Carnevale introduced the evening, and then the Senior Prefect team of Owen, Ysabelle, Ed and Katie gave a very informative and well-presented talk which included a Sixth Former's perspective of the school - it’s always extremely interesting to hear what they have to say! Past student Emily Bates was also extremely interesting as she described life after Rougemont, and how the School has supported her in shaping her future. The LRC was absolutely full which bodes very well for the inaugural year of our new Sixth Form area within the new build. We can't wait!

Preparations are well underway for House Music next week, a huge event in the House Calendar which traditionally rounds off the first half term. The House Tutors and Sixth Form House Captains have been working extremely hard to audition, advise and perfect the musical entries for each category, and we are all excited about the competition. Will Caradog be able to retain the trophy this year? We’ll have to wait and see!

Before that, today was House Cross Country, where the fields were awash with red, blue and yellow as our intrepid runners battled the slightly unfavourable conditions to complete the course.

Here are some pictures of happy pupils before the run – some of them got rather muddy by the end but their smiles were still intact!

A huge 'well done' to everybody who participated in the event – some teachers also donned their trainers for the occasion; Mrs Bateman, Mr Richards, Mrs Jenkins, Mr Bowman and Mr McMahon - we salute you! A big ‘high five’ to the P.E. Department for organising the event, and of course the House Tutors and Captains for successfully rallying the troops. Mr Jenkins and Mr Cobb were as excellent as ever on the microphone – it has been a lovely morning of healthy and enjoyable competition.

Next week we will be pleased to welcome PC Murphy into the school to talk to pupils about their social and community responsibilities, and as the end of an extremely busy half term approaches, the hills will be alive with the wonderful Sound of Rougemont Music emanating from the Sports Hall, followed by the start of a well-deserved two week break. Have a lovely weekend!
